This art print is made from an historical photo of Chief Anop-Ylosk, Head chief of the Taku Tribe, photographed by photographer Harriet Smith Pullin in 1906.

Harriet Smith Pullen (1860-1947) was orn March 1861 in Wisconsin. She married Daniel Pullen and moved to LaPush, Washington with her logger husband.

In 1897 she signed on as a cook for Captain William Moore,the founder of Skagway, Alaska for $3 per day, leaving her four children with a friend in Seattle. She collected discarded tin cans to make pie pans and sold apple pies to the miners on the side, earning as much as $25.00 day. When she had saved enough to have seven horses sent to her from her LaPush farm, she went into the freight business, hauling freight across the White Pass trail.

In 1901, she bought Moore's house and turned it into the Pullen House Hotel, and sent for her children and husband. Her husband soon abandoned her to seek his fortune in the gold fields. In 1910 he returned to Harriet Smith Pullen added a restaurant and turned the Pullen House Hotel into a luxury resort, importing fine china, soft beds, and bathtubs, which were a major luxury of that era. High society from around the world, including President and Mrs. Harding, stayed at her hotel. She was known to the locals as "Ma Pullen."

She then found time for a hobby, amassing a huge collection of gold rush memorabilia and ethnographic artifacts,regaling guests with tales of Skagway lore.

Another of her hobbies was amateur photography. She took numerous photographs between 1913-1939. When Harriet Smith Pullen died, on August 9, 1947, she was buried near the site of her hotel.
